“…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
Galatians 5:22-23
A Prayer for Peace
God of peace,
As my appearance
And appetite and energy
All begin to change,
Let me seek the peace I crave
In your unchanging love.
Help me to remember
That you are constant
When all around me is shifting.
Calm my anxieties
With the comfort of your presence.
Quiet the storm of my fears
With your calm.
Whisper still, small words of trust
And cradle my baby
In the warmth of your love.
Help me to celebrate
The life growing within me,
The child taking shape
In the dark chaos of creation.
Keep your horizon of hope
Ever before my eyes.
In peace I pray,
Amen.
